About Me
A freelance SEO consultant from Manchester, doing this for over 15 years, still doing every client's work myself.
The story
I started in SEO in the mid-2000s, joining a highly reputable Manchester SEO agency as a consultant. Agency life was a good education: clients across every industry you can name, from small local firms to large enterprise brands, and the discipline of crafting long-term strategies that had to show a return.
Going independent was about keeping the parts of that work that matter and dropping the parts that do not. Clients get the same experience, but their budget goes on the work rather than the overheads, and the person they hire is the person who does the job.
I have lived in Manchester all my life and most of my clients are here or nearby, in Stockport, Cheshire and across the North West, though plenty are elsewhere in the UK. The sectors have ranged from printing, tech and property to retail, food, recruitment and law firms. Several clients have been with me for more than ten years, which I consider the only credential that really counts.
Beyond SEO, I have a strong working background across digital marketing: PPC, social media marketing, CRO, web development, Google Analytics and email. It means my SEO advice fits your bigger picture instead of ignoring it.
How I work
No account managers, no handovers, no outsourcing. I am your first point of contact from the first call onwards, which keeps communication fast and honest.
If SEO is not the right investment for you yet, I will say so. If a target is unrealistic, I will say that too. Clients stay for a decade because the advice is honest, not because of a contract.
Every engagement runs on data: rankings, traffic, enquiries and, increasingly, AI visibility. You see what I see, in plain English, every month.
Every review I have received on Google and Trustpilot is 5 stars, and the case studies show the numbers behind them.
